One thing about #JohnLithgow that is undeniable is that he is very much not English. Nevertheless, he’s been picked to play the very, very English icon Dumbledore in HBO’s upcoming “#HarryPotter” series.

But “don’t worry about that,” the actor assured fan in a recent interview. He plans to “spend some time with a dialect coach” to make sure he gets the accent right.

“He’s certainly an Englishman. In fact, there’s a good deal of controversy that an American has been hired to play him,” Lithgow said while speaking to Collider in an interview posted Thursday.
